![]() Rating: - 2.5 starsI had to come back to edit my review of after having this album for a while and the hype died down. Tt really doesn't hold up that well after repeated listens. The vocals are for the most part really annoying, with the exception of a few moments here and there. The songs, though having interesting parts and sounds, this is as far as it goes. It sounds just like that, a bunch of weird parts sort of stuck together. They lack any memorable structure. John Strainer's drumming is painfully stiff, especially ... Read More Rating: - Amazing Indepth AlbumBattles are a math rock band. This stylistic genre is composed of only the finest of musicians (usually). Requiring a thorough in depth analysis of their instruments and true understandings as how to play synchronized with one another. Battles is on a strong progressive note here, and succeed in making some great off the walls music. The single "Atlas" is quite the oddity, the music feels 'outside the box'. Overall 'Mirrored' is one of my favorite albums, but some songs really seem to be lacking in comparison ...

Immediately intrigued, I delved further into the craziness that is Battles. It took a while for this album to catch on with me, but once it did I was hooked. Aside from "Atlas", the highlight here for me is "Tonto" which has hook after catchy hook. The rest of the album is equally as catchy, but it takes some time for the listener to fully appreciate the album. It's not for the casual music fan, it is definetely an experimental band. ...

Damon could play ... Read More Rating: - Somewhere Between Daft Punk And Alvin and The ChipmunksIn my opinion this was the best album of 2007. The songs on this album entertwine in that typical Battles fashion. What to some people might sound like four guys from New York jamming in a room full of high dollar synthesizers (which is nothing short of the truth), to me is a beautiful creation of man and machine. Battles is one of the few bands active today that actually pushes sonic boundaries as far as they can go. There are noises on this album that I can garuntee you have never heard before. However what separates ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
